In Memoriam

On May 12th, 2007, a ray of sunlight left our lives, to join the stars that light the evening skies. We know that Audi waited for her grandson, Riley, to walk into our home and hearts, and to tell him a little bit about the grand adventure he was embarking on, before she turned her own special corner and went off on her own journey. We are so grateful for the years we had with Audi Monster, thanks to Anna and Don Morison (Donamor) and Liz and Bruce Russell (Gowrielea). We celebrated each and every day we had her in our lives. Audi was Tommy's girl, through and through, a special gift to our Blues Man, many years ago. Audi gave us everything! We think of her every day.

Sophie was a great dog with a wonderful temperament. She had lots of endearing quirks - always lying near your feet chewing a bone while you made her dinner; having to pause at the foot of every set of stairs, then rush up only on the right side; making that weird crunching sound as she kept her dewclaws neatly trimmed. Sophie gave us a singleton puppy "Caelum", Ch. Donamor Once In A Blue Moon WCX, MH, who has amazed and thrilled us. It's still hard to believe that Sophie is gone; so suddenly; so young. We're lucky to have been able to share your life. Sleep well.
